Irish Knock Medal - Pilgrim Medallion - Our Lady of Knock - Pray for us - I have prayed for you at Knock - Knock Medal - RM111

This is one of the old Knock bronze payer medals, sold at Knock to pilgrims visiting the site of the Apparition of Our Lady of Knock, intended to give to family members or friends who were prayed for at the shrine in Knock, County Mayo, Ireland. Dates from early to mid nineties.

The Vision: 21st August, 1879.
At the gable wall of the parish Church of Knock, witnesses clearly saw the Blessed Virgin Mary dressed in white robes, her hands and eyes turned towards heaven in prayer. On her head was a gold crown and where the crown fitted the brow, a single golden rose. On her right, bowed respectfully towards her, was St. Joseph. He appeared older, his beard and hair were grey and, like Our Lady,  he was barefoot.

To Our Lady’s left stood John the Evangelist vested as a bishop, wearing a small mitre. He held an open book in his left hand and in its pages the lines and letters could clearly be seen. He appeared to be preaching but no voice was heard. He stood so that his back was neither turned to the Virgin or to the Lamb that stood upon a simple plain altar. Behind the Lamb was a Cross. The witnesses watched and prayed for over 2 hours and though they were wet from the persistent Irish rain, they noticed that no rain fell on upon the Apparition or on the gable.

The prayer at Knock......
Praying the special prayer composed:
Lord, in 1879 the Apparition in Knock gave comfort and hope to your people in a time of distress and worry. In the presence of Our Lady, St Joseph, St John the Evangelist and the Lamb of God you showed us that we are neither alone nor abandoned in times of great need, personally and as a people.
May all of us, Lord, be strengthened by the spiritual support of the Christian community at this time through prayer, fasting and concern for one another. May we never abandon hope in the face of adversity and trust in your love for us. Amen
Our Lady of Knock, pray for us.
St Joseph, pray for us.
St John the Evangelist, pray for us.
